Chapter 33

Bobby kept pacing in the living room, trying to figure out the best way to tell Dean about the baby. He wasn't sure how the hunter would take the news, knowing the apocalypse was coming and it seemed more and more inevitable. It was around 11pm when Bobby finally heard the impala pull in the driveway. The hunter grabbed three glasses and a full bottle of whisky and placed everything on the coffee table. He took a deep breath and sat in the arm chair, waiting for the boys to come in.

When Dean pulled in the driveway, both brothers noticed the red pick-up. Which meant one of two things; Hailey was finally home or something happened to her. They shared a worried look but no one said anything and they got out of the car, not bothering to grab their bags. Dean walked in followed closely by Sam. They saw Bobby sitting on the edge of the arm chair, pouring glasses for them all.

Alright Bobby, what's going on? Dean asked nervously.

We need to talk, take a seat. Bobby told the hunters and Sam quickly settled on the couch. Dean just stared at Bobby.

I said sit, boy. Bobby said to Dean and the later rolled his eyes and sat on the couch with Sam, next to the arm chair.

Alright, I'm sitting... Where's Hailey? Dean asked looking up to ceiling. Expecting Bobby to say she was in her room asleep, well more like wishing.

She isn't here son, not yet anyways... Bobby answered and the boys waiting for him to talk.

Castiel, he brought me to see her, she's living in a little town up in Vancouver. The reason she... didn't come back is... well, it's cuz she's pregnant. Bobby felt ten pounds lighter, but he waited as Dean didn't really react, he just stayed silent looking down at his feet. Sam had wide eyes but didn't say anything either. The silence filled the room for the longest time and Dean started nodded to himself.

Is she... Is she happy? Dean asked and Bobby was surprised.

Well, she's scared-

Well yeah, I mean... She's young and all... Is... Is he treating her right? Stepping up, taking responsibility? Asked Dean and Bobby just looked at him confused.

Who?

Well, the father. Whoever got her pregnant...

Jesus, I hope the kid gets her Brains... Bobby mumbled as he took his cap off and rubbed his head, this was harder than he had thought it would be.

He's a douche? Jesus Bobby I'm sorry... Just say the word, me and Sammy will visit the jerk. Knock some sense into him, if you know what I mean...

Oh... He's an idjit alright...

Wait. Bobby, how far along is she? Sam asked, catching on.

Almost 8 months, now. Bobby answered staring at Dean.

Oh my god... Sam breathed.

Dean nodded again, but then his eyes widened.

Wait! He said getting up from the couch.

8 months ago... I wasn't in hell yet, that was 'bout 7 months ago? He said and looked over Sam who nodded with a smirk.

I... I was with Hailey back then... I- I got her pregnant?! He asked Bobby and when the later nodded he sat back down on the couch.

I- I... Hailey's pregnant?! Dean's brain stopped working.

Castiel has been... keeping her safe for a while now.

Why... why didn't she tell me? Dean's brain finally managed to function.

Well, for starters you died. Then when you called her she said she wanted to tell you but-

I told her to stay away... I told her I couldn't deal... Oh god Bobby... I didn't know.

No one knew, son. I just found out a couple of days ago myself. Castiel told her if you knew, the angels and demons could use them against you. So she decided to keep the pregnancy from us all...

That son of a bitch! Dean growled getting up again, he felt the need to punch something, like an angel named Castiel.

That son of a bitch kept Hailey alive more times than I can count. You remember when you'all found her half dead in the chapel? Her miracle recovery?

That was him? Sam asked surprised. Dean just started pacing in back of the couch., trying to wrap his mind around it all.

Yeah, he's the one who stopped her from summoning Lilith too and when you and Hailey went to Lilith-

He killed Lilith... Sam said, it all started to make sense.

She knew about Hailey. She was setting a trap for the both of you. When Hailey went missing... that's when Castiel told her about the pregnancy. Told her she had to get away from here, the town she's in, has been warded against all things evil from a clan from the 1700's. They made up the story about her being kidnapped and her need to get away... So she could protect the baby. Castiel says the kid's going to be one of the greatest hunters to be known. So he wanted to keep it away-

From me... they- she wants to keep it away from me...

Dean... Sam started to say but Dean cut him off.

Can you blame her?! Look at our lives Sammy!

Dean... Sit. I ain't finished... it gets... worst.

Worst!? Really? Dean asked sarcastically, not sure how much more he could handle.

Watch it boy, that's my grandkid you're talking about. Bobby said in a warning tone and Dean sat back down on the couch.

Bobby, I'm sorry I didn't-

I know... son, I know. Bobby said calming down as Dean downed his glass of whiskey.

'bout a week ago... Hailey almost lost the baby... We almost lost both of them... Again, we owe Castiel.

What happened? Asked Sam as he saw Dean lose all color in his face.

A low uterus? The placenta detached and ripped, she was hemorrhaging, Castiel fixed them up... Then she was hospitalised a few days. The doctor told them she needed to stay off her feet as much as possible and no stress because she could go into early labor or worst, another rip. She was taking it pretty hard and well, that's when Castiel came and told me all of this... I pretty much begged him to see her and so he zapped me there. God it was good to see her... I told her, as a father... keeping the pregnancy from you... wasn't right. Then she kept telling me you moved on and she knew you had a lot on your shoulders and didn't want to add on... She was only doing what she thought she had to, to protect the baby... But she knew it wasn't right.

She wasn't wrong Bobby, the angels... the demons... Lucifer... any of them could... She has to stay away. They can't know... Why are you even telling me about this... I shouldn't even know... they all can read minds. Jesus Bobby. Dean rambled as he started panicking, getting up again and took the bottle with him, he needed air. As he got to the door Bobby got up.

It's probably already too late Dean. Bobby said and Dean froze at the door.

I was out getting some food for Hailey... I must have been out for twenty minutes, gave or take. Anna, the angel we helped... She attacked Hailey.

WHAT!? Dean yelled, turning around, feeling anger rise and fear creep up.

Said she was curious, followed Castiel and found out what he was hiding... She wanted to know who was the father of the baby... Hailey refused to tell her, Anna said she could make her. Hailey held her own and even stabbed the bitch with an angel blade... But then her friend, Alex... stopped by and well... Anna tried making Hailey tell her by grabbing her friend and putting a blade to her throat... Alex got scared and told her. Anna said she could use this info to get the angels off her back. She... sliced her friend's throat right in front of Hailey before she vanished...

Jesus... Dean said, surprised they were talking about the sweet Anna he knew... well, before she retrieved her grace.

I thought you said she was safe there!?

From evil, angels aren't evil... Sam explained to his brother.

She isn't safe anymore. Bobby said.

You think!? What... What now? If Anna does the trade... how the hell are we supposed to protect her!?

We will. I asked Castiel to stay with her, so I could tell you myself... Like I said; Hailey can't be stressed right now. I figured if I told you... I'd save her the stress... Dean, Hailey's coming back home. We'll-

That's just... Great. This is all just... Great. Not only we have to figure out how to stop the damn apocalypse now I have to... I- I... This, this is just... it's too much... It's too damn much Bobby! Dean yelled before he stormed off, slamming the door.

Sam got up to follow Dean but Bobby stopped him.

It's a lot to take in Sam, give him a minute... Bobby told Sam and they both heard the impala roar and tires spin as Dean drove away.

Sam sat back down as Bobby grabbed another bottle of whiskey he had on his desk and he poured them each a glass. Both drank silently for a moment.

I'm going to be an uncle. Sam tested the words out loud and a warm smile grew on his lips.

Tell me about it... I'm gonna be a grandpa... Bobby added and both hunter's clung their glasses and down the remaining liquor and Sam laughed a bit.

Hailey woke up screaming Alex's name again. She waited for her sobs to stop before getting out of bed and went to the bathroom. Once she came out she noticed Castiel sitting in the living room. She made her way to him and sat next to the angel.

Dean knows... was all Castiel said.

What? How!? Hailey eyes widened, understanding what he meant.

You aren't safe here anymore Hailey, Having hunters to protect you when I can't... It's our best shot. Bobby told him.

It wasn't up to him to tell Dean... I should've... This is between me and Dean... Oh god...

Hailey. It's alright. Calm down...

He hates me, doesn't he? He's right though, I shouldn't have hidden this... I thought I was able to protect this baby, by myself but- I couldn't even do that! Shocker, right? Hailey rambled as she got up and stood in front of Castiel.

Hailey, you need to-

I need you to take me to Dean. Hailey quickly said.

What? No. Hailey... The doctor said you needed rest, Dean just found out, let's just give him time to... digest the news first and-

Take. Me. To. Dean. Now! Hailey demanded sternly and Castiel took a deep breath and stood up. He seemed powerless when it came to the small brunette. He touched Hailey's forehead and she was gone. The angel could only hope he wouldn't regret it.

AN: hey! It took me sooo long to try and get this right... I hope you guys liked it. Next chapter Dean and Hailey will actually see each other ! Will being face to face calm things down or will it get even more tense? Till then!

Newbie ;)
